5:00 am
good morning. i'm vinita nair. >> and i'm anthony mason. here are a few of the stories we'll be looking at on "cbs this morning saturday." a popular restaurant filled with foreigners and dignitaries is attacked inafghanistan. americans are among those killed. they were told the water was safe to use. that turned out to be not true. the continuing nightmare for hundreds of thousands in west virginia. plus, four teams left with only two spots for the super bowl. we'll preview the nfl's conference championships, including a face-off between two of the best quarterbacks ever. and the movie trailer turns 100. we'll take a look at the secrets behind making films that make
5:01 am
you want to see the films. all that and much more on "cbs this morning saturday," january 18th, 2014. captioning funded by cbs and welcome to the weekend. we also have some great guests for you this morning, including a singer with a voice as big as her band sharon jones and the dap kings. and a hockey playing chef who's responsible for the gastrorevolution. first breaking news about an attack in afghanistan. we're learning at least two americans were among those killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a restaurant in kabul. charlie d'agata is following the developments of yesterday's attack. charlie, good morning. >> good morning to you, anthony and vinita. we got that warning yesterday.
5:02 am
at least two citizens died. we have learned they were from the american university in afghanistan. here the foreign office said two british nationals are among the dead in one of the worst attacks against foreign civilians since the start of the war. they struck the popular lebanese restaurant on a busy friday night. afghan officials said it started when one suicide bomber blew himself up outside the entrance. >> there were apparently according to our primarily investigation, three terrorists. one was able to explode the explosive he brought with him and two others were trying to enter the restaurant. >> witnesses said the gunmen stormed the restaurant and opened fire on everyone inside. this security guard said people inside were shouting and screaming after every single shot. desperate customers tried to hide under tables. americans, britain, canadians,
5:03 am
and lebanese were among the 13 foreign victims, according to afghan officials. the other eight were afghans. the international monetary fund said its representative was killed. the united nations confirmed four u.n. employees died in what they call a horrific attack. >> as you can imagine we're very shock and very sad and it's a very heavy day here in afghanistan. we've lost some four u.n. staff members in the attack. you can imagine the effect on the staff members here. >> it's exactly the effect the terrorists were aimed for. although it's commonplace in kabul, it's been rare for attackers to penetrate the areas well guarded for foreigners. it may be worth noting that while this is a well garlded
5:04 am
area, like all parts of kabul, it is secured by afghan forces with no u.s. military presence to speak of. anthony and vinita? >> charlie, you've been in afghanistan many times. how safe is it for the workers and afghans who use them? >> well security starts in a sort of ring of steel around the neighborhoods. you don't want to get an attacker close to these restaurants, but the fact is foreign nevers,er foreigners journalists, people from the u.n. they do frequent a handful of restaurants in kabul, and once you get there, you're searched in sort of this breezeway area. they make sure no one's carrying any weapons but all it would take is a suicide bomber to penetrate the entrance and gunmen to go in from anywhere but it doesn't stop foreigners from getting their work done. where the security should be is on the ring around those areas, these neighborhoods where the
5:05 am
diplomatic quarters and foreigners and foreign workers congregate and gather. >> charlie d'agata in london this morning. thank you. president obama is moving the limit the scope of the national security agency's phone, internet and data. reaction to it both good and bad was swift in coming. nancy cordes is at the white house this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning, vinita. even as he said that some of their practices are going to have to change including as you said the collection of that massive trove of phone and internet data which he said will continue to be stored at the nsa for now but will eventually have to be sent somewhere else. seven months after edward snowden exposed some of this country's deepest secrets, president obama announced the u.s. will dramatically scale back its spying on foreign leaders. >> unless there is a compelling national security purpose, we
5:06 am
will not monitor the communications of heads of state and government of our close friends and allies. >> he also ordered major changes to the national security agency's blanket collection and storage of phone records, the most controversial of the program snowden made public. >> without proper safeguards this type of program could be used to yield more information about our private lives and open the door to more intrusive bulk collection programs in the future. >> the president argued there was no evidence that program had been abused so far and called it a key element of the nation's fight against terrorists. >> being able to quickly review phone connections to assess whether a network exists is critical to that effort. >> mr. obama said the phone records will no longer be stored by the government though it's not clear who can and will store them instead. the government, he said will have to get approval from a secret court to access the
5:07 am
records, except in the case of a true emergency, but that doesn't go far enough for stock privacy advocates like kentucky senator rand paul who called it the same unconstitutional program with the new configureationconfiguration. others worried about the impact on national security. tennessee senator bob corker said i'm concerned some of the proposals go too farly. ing our able to protect the nation with little benefit to civil liberties of americans. the chairs of the intelligence committees and senate did give their approval but they said the court approval process for ak stoes this data is going to have to speed up. in the past they said it could take up to nine days to get approval for a single search. anthony and vinita? >> nancy cordes at the white house this morning. thank you, nancy. and joining us now from our washington bureau with a closer look at what the president wants to do and reaction from congress and the intelligence community is cbs newszarate.
5:08 am
good morning, juan. >> good morning, anthony. >> obviously there's a delicate between protecting national security and protecting civil yanls' privacy. how well does the proposal reflect that? >> i think focusing on the speech and the policy directive, i think struck it fairly well. he clearly had to respond to the criticism and growing distrust of the government's collection of metadata in particular the telephone metadata but he also wanted to clearly look at the government and the access to the data. you can see from criticism from both sides he has struck a balance here. the question is whether or not how far these reforms go downstream and what it ultimate ultimately looks like. >> you mentioned balance. how are they responding to all these recommendations? >> vinita? initially the director of national intelligence is supportive. he came out yesterday supporting the president's approach. he's been directed to look at
5:09 am
the alternatives to the metadata somewhere other than the nsa, but think there's sort of a mixed reaction among the intelligence community troops. there's a sigh of relief because the programs in essence and the programs in general that the u.s. government uses to collect mass amounts of data is still in stream. at the same time it may start to propose unilateral developments on the part of the u.s. intelligence community. >> juan, what do you think the down sides to these reforms are if any? >> you heard nancy talk about it a little bit, judicial process in place for analysts to actually access the telephone metadata. thing there's a concern here that we start to build in so in layers that we start to slow the process of accessing data or blind our views of potential threats that are coming. i think the real concern here is are we creating an atmosphere where the intelligence community
5:10 am
is less aggressive, not lewilling to use technology to deal with the threats facing the united states. >> if there's more data that the government needs to take a look at couldn't that slow things down if there ever was a terrorist attack? >> absolutely, but if you look at the president's directive and the language of the speech he really accounts for this. certainly he's alieuing the attorney general and the fisa court the ability to fashion what this looks like, and i think they'll want a very quick process to allow the analyst to get at this information. but in other cases, he's not asked for judicial review. for example the national security letters they use to get snfgs not going to be subject to judicial process at this point, so that's good news for the intelligence community. >> juan zarate in washington. thank you, juan. >> thank you, anthony. bob schieffer's guests will include house intelligence committee chairman mike rogers a republican of michigan
5:11 am
senator mark udall, democrat of utah. tom donleon. >> three men are under arrest and could face several charges that start add camp fire that turned into a wildfire near los angeles. it's probably california's worst dry spell in a century. carter evans is in california this morning with the latest on the fire and the drought. good morning, carter. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. containment on this fire is still at 30%, but we expect that number to rise today. ponly about 300 residents remain under that evacuation and that red flag warning is set to expire this evening. firefighters took advantage of reduced winds to garon an upper hand on the come by fire. as air support dropped water on hotspots on the mountainous
5:12 am
terrain, fire crews set backfires to deprive the wildfire of fuel. what are these guys trying to essentially do? >> keep the fire from establishing down at the bottom and taking off everywhere. >> reporter: the progress came despite summer-like temperatures. >> it seems like it's july rather than january and these conditions are extremely different than what we've seen in the past. >> reporter: more than 90% of california is facing drought conditions leaving governor jerry brown to declare a state of emergency on friday. >> it's important to awaken all californians to the matter of serious drought and the lack of rain. >> reporter: the issue extends beyond california and all of the west including midwest where the drought is expected to continue for the next several months. >> we're in an unprecedented very serious situation and
5:13 am
people should pause and reflect on how dependent we are on the rain on nature and one another. >> reporter: it was a combination of the extremely dry conditions and strong santa ana winds that allowed the colby fire to explode on thursday after embers from a campfire were blown nearby. three men accused of setting the fire are now being federally charged. >> they're young men in their 20s that just didn't realize the repercussions of their actions, and now it's starting to settle in. >> reporter: but sorry isn't good enough, and for good reason because campfires are illegal in this area right now and you can see what happens because of them. the three suspects are expected to be a rraigned in federal court early next week. >> thanks carter.
5:14 am
freedom industry is the company responsible for the chemical spill in and around west virginia. it's filed for bankruptcy production. it's left with thousands of lawsuits. jeff pegues reports there are still problems with the water supply. >> reporter: residents of putnam county, west virginia who thought their water troubles were over got some unwelcome new this morning, an order by the water company instructing them to avoid drinking and limit contact with the water. testing revealed higher levels of the leaked chem chal than had been safe. >> i took a shower because they told me it was a green light. that's what made me made. >> reporter: 300,000 have been under water restrictions since last friday when a chemical used to clean coal leaked into the water supply. residents couldn't shower or cook with it and had to drink bottled water. wednesday they warned pregnant
5:15 am
women to avoid drinking the water. >> if pregnant women can avoid it, they should try to do that particular lay when we know little about the case. >> reporter: it's hard to know how bad mch is. jenny burns is a charleston business owner. >> i'm not cooking with this water. i'm not drinking this water. as a matter of fact, in here i've washed the dishes with bottled water and dried them. >> reporter: several lawsuits have been filed against freedom industries. the bankruptcy filed on early friday will have an impact on how lawsuits proceed. for "cbs this morning saturday," jeff pegues charleston, west virginia. this is the peak of the annual flu season with high activity reported in 14 states especially in texas. nationwide at least 20 children have died of the flu. manuel bojorquez has more.
5:16 am
>> reporter: this ambulance corps in ft. worth has responded to an average of 42 flu-related call as day in the past two weeks. >> we've experienced five different calls within the last 30 minutes. >> reporter: matt is the director of public affairs. people are calling 911 because they have the flu? >> they're not sure what to do. the doctor's offices are busy and clinics so by default we've become the safety net. >> reporter: ft. worth john peters hospital has delayed elective surgeries to make room for flu patients. >> we've had as many as 35 park ends waiting for admission taking up our 56 er beds. >> reporter: texas does not keep statewide data on flu-related deaths but dallas and surrounding counties report at least 50 deaths. there have been 11 flu-related
5:17 am
death this season in indiana. the health department in california said 45 people have died with 50 more cases being investigated. there are no shortages of flu vaccine, but people are waiting in long lines. the city of plano, texas, offered 650 free flu shot this week. 1,000 people showed up. at one point this week paramedics waited 90 minutes to get some patients into crowded emergency rooms. that has forced medstar to implement a patient plan typically used for disasters. for "cbs this morning saturday," manuel bojorquez ft. worth, texas. four nfl teams are still in the running for this year's super bowl. tomorrow night just two will remain two. face off. tom brady and the patriots versus peyton manning and the broncos. division rivals seattle and san francisco will play for the nfc
5:18 am
title. let's talk about these matchups. i like it when it gets down to four. it's so much more manageable. who do you think has more pressure on them in today's game? brady or manning? >> i think it has to be manning. he only has one super bowl. brady has three. one's 37 one's 36. they're both getting up there. manning's team has had the best record. brady has pressure too. he hasn't won in a long time. >> ten years. >> ten years. it kind of reminds me with derek jeter with the yankees. this is maybe brady's derek jeter moment. >> joe montana was his hero too, who had four. >> four right. >> there are all kinds of rumors that manning might retire at end of the the season? how true is that? >> i don't know. manning loves football. he loves the only ha snap and
5:19 am
all this stuff. i would be surprised if he hangs it up. >> i want to talk about the game on sunday. seahawks versus 49ers. who do you think will win? >> i like the seahawks. they have a historically great passing defense. it's going to be hard for colin kaepernick to take advantage of his receiving options. again, he's a very mobile quarterback and can use that to his advantage. >> he's going to have to take extra effort to hear everything in the stadium also. >> right. they've set the world guinness book of records for crowd noise at this time. it's real real advantage to them. >> some are building it as the two quarterbacks of the future. are you seeing it that way? >> this is a special sunday. these two guy, russell wilson and colin kaepernick are the future of the nfl. >> let's do it. i want to hear your super bowl picks shy i'm going to go out on a limb and pick the two home
5:20 am
teams, denver and seattle coming into the new york area in two weeks. >> a lot of excitement. >> who do you think wins it all? >> i'm going to go with denver with peyton manning going out on top. if he does it's going to be compared to john elway, going out on top. >> it should be a lot of great stories. >> i know with that pick you made a lot of friends, a lot of enemies. don't forget you can see all the action in the championship game here on cbs. coverage begin at 2:00 p.m. eastern time. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the "denver post" record reports a security guard at arapahoe high school says students were concerned about security threats. they say karl pierson was a known threat before he entered the high school with a shotgun and machete last month before

chris christie he had his buddies go out there, they say, and close out the george washington bridge. he said if anybody says what's going on, he said, tell them there's a traffic study. take a look at the traffic study from the george washington bridge. >> will closing three lanes on the world's busiest bridge cause traffic delays? yeah. this concludes the george washington bridge traffic study. >> at least they tested it. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning saturday."anthony mason. >> and i'm vinita nair. new jersey governor chris christie is scrambling to save his career and a possible shot of a presidency in the face of a scandal. >> they're investigating last year's closure lanes from new jersey to manhattan with
5:31 am
essentially of chris christie's top staffers subpoenaed to testify. >> right now they have documenting from both former and current members of governor christyie christie's current staff. charles mckenna and maria kamala, his communications director. also on the list the governor's chief spokesperson michael drewniak. it shows drewniak had dinner with port authority official and christie appointee david wildstein in september. thanks again for all your sound advice last night. i always appreciate your friendship. thanks to you wrote drewniak. it's not clear what they discussed but wild stooeld restein quit two days later. the committee is also interested in documents from david samson.
5:32 am
he's head of the port authority the agentcy in charge of the bridge that links new jersey to new york. sampson is a christie appointee. when asked about the traffic jams in september, sampson sent an e-mail blasting the executive director from the new york side of the port thought. sampson accused him of leaking information to the media and stirring up trouble. he's playing in traffic, sampson said, made a big mistake. last week christie said he spoke to sampson at length and believes sampson was not involved in the lane closures at the george washington bridge. the governor has also denied any involvement involvement. this week he said he remains focused on governing the state. >> i want to assure the people of new jersey of one thing. i was born here i was raised here, i'm raising my family here, and this is where i intend to spend of rest of my life and
5:33 am
whatver test they put in front of me i will meet those tests because i'm doing it on your behalf. >> reporter: other subpoenas were delivered to former christie aide who was fired and bill stepien and bill baroni who resigned. the governor's campaign organization was also served with legal papers. they all now have two weeks to turn over any relevant documents to the state committee. for thp"cbs this morning saturday," elaine quijano, new york. >> jackie kucinich is from the "washington post." she joins us now from our washington bureau. jackie, good morning. >> good morning. >> before this all extorted or at least the big brouhaha christie was sitting on top of about 500 polls for presidential contenders for 2016. how much of an impact do you think this is potentially having jackie? >> we haven't seen it in the polls yet. it seems like people who like
5:34 am
christie or don't like christie are sort of taking a wait-and-see attitude toward this scandal, but there's still a lot we don't know on the bridge front and maybe the hurricane sandy funding. there are a lot of questions unanswered and things people are looking into. if christie is telling the truth, i think he's going to be fine. if he's not, if his story turns out not to be true it's a big problem. >> he's undoubtedly a polarizing character in that half think he's a bully and the other half think he's a leader who can get things done. how can we possibly know what impact this can have on his national dreams if they are, in fact, his dreams? >> i don't know that we can at this point. again, i think it depends on how these investigations, both on the state and national level really turn out. >> jackie, i mean in terms of impact internally within the republican part and i mean in a national sense, he was perceived by conservatives as being too
5:35 am
moderate. do you think this is ammunition for them? >> yes i do. i think conservatives -- well when we look at the republican primaries, if he does end up running, i think yes, this will be used against him by conservatives and as well by democrats. this doesn't change any -- the minds of any of his critics. his critics still don't like him and they're going to use it as ammunition. i've seen conservatives actually defending christie because they don't like how he's being treated in the media. but as far as his national ambitions, he's in florida right now fund-raising for governor rick scott, who's one of the most vulnerable republican governors in the 2014 elections. so clearly the republican party isn't distancing themselves from him by any stretch of the imagination alt this point. >> yeah. although things could play out differently. >> absolutely. >> and now here's a look at the weather for your weekend.

5:40 am
fascinating inside into autism. >> anthony, a new study is shedding key light. why some children have extreme sensitivity to light and noise. >> i would describe it as a different computer operating system than most computers run. >> reporter: 16-year-old austin wasn't diagnosed with it until he was 12 but even add a toddler his mother karen noticed he had extreme reactions to sound. >> i learned early on with him that i had to speak slower and softer because it would upset him and i would notice that he might not really understand what i'm saying. >> researchers have long known that kids with autism struggle with communication. for the first time scientists at vanderbilt university have shown within reason why. a typical person sees me talk and it's in synch but in many kids with autism, there's a delay between what they see and what they hear so they
5:41 am
experience speech like this, out of synch. it's as if they're watch bagdly dubbed movie where the words and the pictures don't match up. mark wallace is the lead author of the study. >> one of the classic pictures that you see with autism is children that will actually be covering over their ears. they're trying to filter out the confusing information and focus on one sense. let's say vision in this circumstance. >> this is so interesting, jon. does it apply to all kids with autismsome. >> well, you know, i spoke to one of the researchers at vanderbilt and he told me 90% of the kids with autism have some sort of auditory processing delay. >> so how do you help them? >> what they're doing is coming up with video games and other ways to speed up the auditory processing so it gets in synch. it's not out of sink. i love this because they're finally getting down to the brain wiring and figuring out how can we actually figure out what's wrong and how to fix it? >> great news for thesekys.
5:42 am
if you're one of the millions of americans drinking diet soda who want to do it to lose weight, you may think again. researchers at johns hopkins university said those who drink diet soda may end up eating more. dr. holly phillips tell us more. >> they looked at a huge group of people over ten year and they found those that were overweight or obese who drank diet soda ate more during the day than those who drank the regular sugar kind. theechb they were saving calories they more than made up with it with what they eight during the day. >> i found that i got less hungry. i don't know why but i honestly felt that. is there some connection between actually eating more and drinking diet soda? >> this study showed a link. it wasn't a cause and effect. but the rushers think there might be something to that. whether it's the artificial
5:43 am
sweetens that sort of throw off the body's ability to know whether it's hungry or full or just the psychological effect. basically if you think you're saving calories in one area you're more likely to splurge in another. you've about seen the person who has the two double cheeseburgers and the large fries and the sundae but a diet soda. >> present here. i think we've all done that. so that's probably one of the things underlying it. also this week columbia researchers can predict flew outbreaks. flu cases in most parts of the country are forecast to peak in january. overall the prediction is for fewer cases than last year. the fda is asking doctors to limit prescriptions of combination drugs that contain acetaminophen. why now? >> it's been for year bus they're stepping it up.
5:44 am
the main problem is especially with too much of acetaminophen, which is commonly in tylenol, you can see liver damage. tylenol, generally it's a safe medication. that's been one of the problems. you see it in everything, cold medicines, sleep medicines, pain medicines. people don't realize it because it doesn't necessarily say it in the name of the drug or medication, they take a little here a little there, and suddenly they've got an overdose. they're saying first of all, look at the label. make sure d it have it or not and add up what you're getting but in general you should probably take one medication that contains tylenol at any one time and you won't get confused. finally a tv program is getting credit for reducing the teen birth rate. mtv's "16 and pregnant" and its spin-off have cut that birth rate by 6%. they follow the teenage girls.

they may have prevented more than 20,000 births since 2010. holly, the birth rate was already actually falling. do you think this show made a significant contribution? >> one thing that was so interesting that the researchersdy, they looked at not only who was watching the show and when but then they followed google and twitter trends from the people watching it, particularly the teens. the teens were actually googling birth control and abortion while the shows were going. now since the abortion rate also fell during that time they figure the drop in teen pregnancy more likely had to do with birth control. it really is an interesting way to kind of look at how teens are zoning in on this and how it's raising their interest in birth control. >> i remember when the show first came out there was a big backlash and when i watched it, it shows you how difficult it is to raise a child as a teen. but jon, i want to ask you about another report out this week and it says maybe we're painting too rosy of a picture of a teen
5:46 am
pregnancy. >> i think you have a little yin and yang. i watched it for the first time last night. it seemed difficult to me. these teenagers, where are they going to live how are they going to get money, they're staying at their mother-in-law's house, everybody's unhappy, the guys don't stay around a lot of the time. it didn't look so glamorous to me. and then there's the afterlife not having to do with the show itself magazines and social media and pictures of people. there may be some glamorization of it. i guess at the end of the day if you're seeing a decrease in birth rate -- i have to say i was impressed how little these kids knew about birth control and things like that. so think maybe this is a role where reality, you're seeing it it didn't look so glamorous to me, i have to say. >> at the very least, i think show is opening up a really important dialogue. kids do need to be talking about birth control and that sort of thing. so maybe the show will get them talking. >> that's right. dr. jon lapook and dr. holly hi dress.thanks

6:01 am
killed by a suicide attack at a res vaunlt in kabul. >> charlie d'agata is in our london bureau with more on friday's attack. charlie, good morning. >> good morning, vinita and anthony. our colleagues in kabul received news this morning that the attack news came from american university. they say it was a visual attack on innocent people at a restaurant in kabul. afghan officials said a suicide bomber blew himself up outside the restaurant entrance and two gunmen stormed the building. they opened fire on customers before being shot dead by security guards themselves. it is popular with foreigners it was busy on that friday night. afghan officials say 134 foreigners are among the dead including americans, canadians, and british citizens. the u.n. says it lost four employees. the taliban claimed spomt for the attack. they said it is in revenge for an air strike earlier this week.
6:02 am
kabul is no stranger to attacks but this is one of the worst against a foreign civilian target since the war began. anthony and vinita? >> charlie, you've been to kabul, afghanistan many times. how safe are you in them? >> they're surrounded by blast barriers. there is an area where you're frisked and really held before you're allowed into the next part of the restaurant but the areas surrounding these is really a question here. it should be protected by afghan check points who are there specifically to root out these potential suicide bombers. >> but what about the green zones we've heard about in kabul. are they not safe? >> well i guess it's a question of what safety is. you have to go to certain areas where you know that foreigners congregate these diplomatic quarters where areas where
6:03 am
restaurants and hotels where journalists gather and speak to their own contacts. over the course of the last few months specifically there's been less of a u.s. military presence on the streets of afghanistan and more of an afghan presence. that means people are much more present on afghan security forces around those areas. as far as the u.s. military is concerned, there looking at it are the u.s. bases there. once you're inside the bases, that would be the only base i would determine safe. the other areas are patrolled by afghan security forces and as we've seen, those areas can be penetrated and restaurants where foreigners gather they can be attacked unless the security is around these neighborhoods and around the restaurants themselves. >> all right. charlie d'agata in london. thank you, charlie. now to washington where the president gave the national security agency new orderers on gathers e-mail phone, and internet deta. he gave a major speech at the

justice department yesterday. nancy cordes is at the white house this morning. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning, vinita. the president said there's no evidence that the programs have abused the public's privacy but he said the possibility after abuse exists when you're storing such massive amounts of phone and internet data and so he's ordered major changes so some of the most controversial parts of the program. those changes include the fact that phone records will no longer be stored by the government, though it's not clear who can and will store them instead. and when the government wants access to the records, they'll have to get approval from a secret court except in an emergency. the president acknowledged the privacy by some of snowden's leaks but he strongly defended some of the program and he said it's used to keep americans safe. >> we cannot prevent terrorist

6:08 am
typhoons ever recorded on earth. it had all the perfect conditions brewing up in very warm waters unusually warm waters. it had the perfect breeding environment and therefore it produced exceptionally strong winds, something you don't normally see in the philippines. >> when you talk about preparedness, though, chris, they had satellite images 12 days in advance, but do you still think they were underprepared for what happens? >> well the philippine government evacuated close to 8,000 people. they probably saved tens of thousands of lives by doing that. the problem is the storm followed the predicted track, but it was difficult to know the intensity of the storm. i don't think anybody was prepared for the rapped storm surge. to them, it's a bad day, but it's not a cause for fearing life and limb. >> 11 million people were
6:09 am
affected. did relief aid eventually get to them? >> within 12 hours the u.n. had a task force on one of the cities that was hit the worst and the other aid agencies got in there there pretty quickly. the u.s. navy and british navy got in there pretty quickly and the aid ramped up. it's an ongoing effort obviously. >> dr. robbins, when you look at the large scale, climatologists say the world continues to heat up. it means the philippines could be bracing for more storms like this. >> yeah. it feeds off warm ocean waters and it's a perfect perk hags to bundle up. with the ocean getting warmer and the area getting warmer we
6:10 am
may have stromger storms. not necessarily more but stronger weekends that much more lomer. >> you say it's a cause. >> it's a natural cause. the sea level is a little higher than it was. the waters were above normal. the atmosphere is above normal. i provides a better breeding ground for these storms. >> we saw the efforts of rebuilding. how are they doing? how do you clean up after something so devastating? >> if your hosss are built with plant fiber, you're going to get knocked down every time there's a storm. they need to inverdict in greater infrastructure. there's a cycle especially in the poorest reege where they get
6:11 am
knocked down. gets set back to zero, it's knocked down again. there's innovative stuff going on. cash. rebuilding in this case is sort of a relative term because we're going from zero to slightly above zero and it's not a long term solution. >> the program looks very interesting. thank you for being here. >> it's about 11 minutes after the hour. now he'sre's a look at the weather for your weekend. up next loud and fast or

was all this legal. >> wow. >> absolutely not. >> make you want to see the movie? that trailer for "the wolf of wall street" was seen months before it even opened. trailers will have been around for more than a century but can they really make the difference between a hit and a dud? he's with us along with matt singer along with dissolve.com
6:23 am
a movie website. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> matt, let me start with you. how important is a trailer to the success of a film? >> it's huge. you only get one chance and trahat trailer can make a decision. something like "cloverfield." little movie. didn't know wait was. hooks people. didn't say the title. just the date it was opening. it got a big hit. >> speaking of trailers that hooked people, you ed itted the trailer for the wolf of wall street. what goes into that? i just think how do you condense 90 minutes or more into two and a half minutes? >> it's more about what works for the story. usually we get the features really early and the process and we watch them and we try and get the essence of what the movie is and, you know distill it down
6:24 am
into two and a half minutes. yeah, it can be pretty challenging sometimes. >> matt, have movie trailers changed a great deal over the past century? >> they have. when they were introduced the trailer would trail the film. they would advertise next week's installment with trailer that followed the feature but as movies have gotten more sophisticated and think as editing has gotten more sophisticated, the trailers have gotten more sophisticated as well. you used to see extended bits of feeds and now you go to a moment, an image a line of dialogue. little segments like that are what define it now. >> since movie companies have so much invested in these trailers is there a formula? do they tell you all of them should fit a certain rubric? >> no. actually one of the things we try to do is try to break the formula and make everything we work on feel fresh and new. you know you don't want to see the same thing again and again. a lot of times they make
6:25 am
everything the same, but really our job is to make things feel different and fresh. again, trailers from seven years ago are a little different than they are now. they're always evolving because everybody's trying to charge it up a little bit. >> i have to say in the theater a couple of weeks ago, i saw three trailers. they all looked the same very loud, very fast, very noisy. sometimes the joke is all the good jokes and comedy are in the trailers and then you go to the movie and there's nothing else. do you ever see that? >> yeah. for me the trailer should be the question, the movie should be the answer. when the trailer gives it away why -- >> tom hanks achz' "cast aaway," you
6:26 am
saw him get off the island. why do we need to see the movie. >> do you efrp say do you ever say the trailer was good, the movie -- >> we try to make -- they're the movie we imagine will be, you know finely done. it's never good to judge before the movie's out. i don't know that it's going to be so great. it come out and the final version of the meefb is much better than i ever imagined. so we're always kind of optimuss optimistic that way. thanks for being here. >> thank you. coming up under the radar, hot spots in and out of the u.s. you might never think of. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."

place that gets no respect but it has now. imagine a city that was in economic tatters, they lost 30% of their population between 1970 and 1990. talk about a turnaround. great culture and museum. one of the best ballparks in america and a great place to go and one of the most affordable places to visit. >> really cool town. been there recently. and also another really cool town which is not on people's radar, providence, rhode island. >> most people see it on their way to somewhere else. they've got a great airport similar to boston logan. great waterfalls. it's owner and chef driven. they put their name on the restaurant. >> when people think of california they think of sonoma. you say go to the central coast. why? >> it's about 200 miles south of l.a. and san francisco.

6:33 am
caribbean on the same day and the u.s. dollar is the local currency. totally affordable. it's a great airline. if you want to see anywhere in south america you go from co-pa to anywhere else. >> lastly a place i've never been but always wanted to gorks iceland. >> iceland is place where they suffered their own economic debacle. i discovered it when i was in college. they always stopped there on your way to europe. it's the northern lights. this is the year to do it and i'm telling you this is the time to go and you can still do exactly what i did in college. stop there on the way to somewhere else because the airline still has great packages. >> iceland had a huge banking crisis. did it recover or is that what makes it affordable? >> it's recovering which makes it afford snoobl these are such
6:34 am
hidden hotspots. how do you vet them and how do we get the deals to find? they're on the net. when someone tells me i don't go there anymore, that gets my attention. that's why you go. i want to be a contrarian traveler, a place that's not in the breaux shurks not in the guidelines have a great time not have to mortgage your house. >> going back to the first one, the city of pittsburgh. that's a cities that has had a bad rep and actually hi has been coming back for 15 years and it's still a great place to go. >> i go back to affordability. it's got great cost of living. you get a chance to see a place everybody forgot about. they didn't forget about it. >> after you both talked about pittsburgh, i want to go. peter greenberg, thank you. >> you got it. >> now for a final look at the weather for your weekend.
